Too bad that extension wasn't opted in the given topics... I wonder why the extension is not presented on this website though.
I guess I will continue this extension as it is actually much simpler (but lacks some functionality that alg5's extension does provide...). It consists of only 1 php-event and 1 template-event, providing minimal but effective functionality. Only some trivialities need to be worked away.
I do have to change the name of the extension though I think

The first post has been updated with the github repository. I will submit it to the customisation database shortly.

The forum must at least have 2 languages installed for the box to appear. If only 1 language is installed, nothing will appear. Thanks for the translation, I will add it in the near future.

So far, so good. Everything translate with button. But post stays in original language.

Any translating apart from what's done now is beyond the scope of this extension. It is only meant as a very simple addition to provide this sometimes painfully missing feature. So sorry, but the translation of posts will have to be done by another extension

.

Just to emphasize how simple the code is:
If you dig into the code you will see it's less code then you'd expect, just because it heavily relies on existing functionality. There are only 129 lines of code, most of which is standard phpBB stuff. Not counting those lines, it would probably add up to about 20 lines of unique code. (11 lines in the listener, 9 lines in the template and 1 line language.)

I have 2 languages install and nothing is displayed in the header

Ah; moreover, you need to be a guest for the box to show up. For registered users the built-in functionality doesn't work, so this extension does not work for them either. Probably I should rename the extension to 'Guest Language'

EDIT 08-07: Just did that: https://github.com/marcovo/guestLanguage
